Digger and grab hire

[BigBen]

I have a large-ish area of tarmac that I want removing to replace with a lawn.

I am assuming the best way to do this is a digger plus various grab lorry pick ups.

My question is what is the going rate for:

i) Digger and operator for the day
ii) Pick up for a grab lorry

I am assuming that any digger operator worth his salt will have a connection with a grab company who can lift on demand, is this a good assumption?

Area is Northampton in case anyone reading is a digger operator and looking for a job

Thanks

Ben
